Rock stars are often viewed as 'higher beings' by today's society. They lead the life of privilege and always seem to be having a blast. The "sex, drugs, and rock n' roll" lifestyle is soaked up by millions of fans, and they still beg for more. But leading that life can also lead to trouble: drug addiction, and the accident of sleeping with someone who is underage or already married.

Such is the problem for the band mates of ShadowsForge, coming to you live from ShadowsForge 2: Trials on Tour, the second book in Ms. Jena Galifany's ShadowsForge series. I didn't have the pleasure of reading the first book in Ms. Galifany's series, but now that I've gotten a taste, I want more.

Geoff Richards is the front man for ShadowsForge, and a lady-killer. Women can't resist his voice, his looks, and certainly not his body, and he's more than happy to feed their carnal need of him. Unfortunately, it seems that his libido has gotten him in trouble: the band receives a letter from an unknown man who says that ShadowsForge slept with his wife. And now he's going to kill them as revenge.

Geoff, the ever-cocky rock star, ignores the warning and lives his life. If it's your time to go, it's your time to go, and he's going to have a damn good time on his way out.

When Valerie Leonard, journalist, shows up to join the boys for their tour for a piece she's working on, Geoff decides that she's going to fall for him. Just his luck, he wants the one woman who isn't going to fall on her back at a smile from the voice of ShadowsForge. She wants proof that he can handle commitment, that she won't be just another notch in his belt.

While Geoff is trying to prove he can be the man she wants, the would-be killer is moving behind the scenes, waiting for the perfect time to strike.

Laced with romance, suspense and a good dose of rock n' roll, Trials on Tour will keep you reading until the last page is done. And leave you wanting more.
